ROCHESTER, Minn. - During the pandemic, the need for blood donors remains high. Now that gradually more people are becoming vaccinated against COVID-19, you may be wondering if the shot will inhibit your ability to give blood.
Currently, the Mayo Clinic Blood Donor Program accepts and encourages donors who have received the COVID-19 vaccine to donate. The Food and Drug Administration does not have any deferrals against the two currently approved COVID-19 vaccines, Moderna and Pfizer.
